Can you confirm if you are using the latest **2.2.1** version of the plugin when this occurs? Also, what **PHP version** and **WordPress Core version** is your site running? 2. Could you provide a more detailed breakdown of the steps required to reproduce this? Specifically, what settings were applied before saving the page? If possible, a **screenshot of the settings** would be very helpful. 3. As a troubleshooting step, can you try **removing the plugin completely** and reinstalling it? Before doing so, please ensure that all **MFM_ prefixed entries** in your **wp_options** table are removed so that no old settings persist. After that, reinstall the plugin and see if the issue persists. 4. Last but not least, is this error causing a complete site crash, or maybe it’s just a one-time error causing some malfunctions of the plugin? A few more details on how this affects the plugin/site will also be useful to know. * Let me know how it goes, and I’ll be happy to assist further! * Thread Starter [ivancza](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ivancza/) * (@ivancza) * [1 year, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/errors-during-saving/#post-18367777) * I just installed the plugin to test it on another site where it wasn’t installed before. Unfortunately, the same problem occurs. * The scan runs fine: [https://prnt.sc/2i4qUYfVheyH](https://prnt.sc/2i4qUYfVheyH)( I also receive an email about it) * However, even without making any changes, if I want to save the settings, it immediately throws the errors, both the frontend and the debug.log file that I copied: * Versions used by us: * PHP: 8.1.31 * WordPress: 6.7.2 * Melapress File Monitor: 2.2.1 * Thanks! * Plugin Support [Lucian Padureanu](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lucianwpwhite/) * (@lucianwpwhite) * [1 year, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/errors-during-saving/#post-18370059) * Hello again [@ivancza](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ivancza/)! * Great news! After running a few more tests, we were able to pinpoint the exact cause of the issue, and we’ve created a patched build that should resolve this for you. * You can download the[ patch here](https://melapress.com/support/plugins-patches/):( scroll to the bottom of the page). **Installation Steps:** 1. Head to the **Plugins** page in your WordPress dashboard. 2. Click **“Upload Plugin.”** 3. Upload and install the patched version (if File Monitor is already installed, simply replace the existing installation). * Everything should work as expected after applying the patch! This fix will also be included in the upcoming plugin update, so once it’s available, you can update as usual. * Looking forward to your feedback—let me know how it goes! * Thread Starter [ivancza](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ivancza/) * (@ivancza) * [1 year, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/errors-during-saving/#post-18374050) * It works fine 🙂 * Thanks for the quick help! * Plugin Support [Lucian Padureanu](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lucianwpwhite/) * (@lucianwpwhite) * [1 year, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/errors-during-saving/#post-18374055) * Thank you for confirming this for me Ivan!
